GUARDIAN
GUARDIAN FALL PREVENTION WINDOW SCREENS
Guardian® fall prevention screens create safe places for windows at height. Certain windows greater than 2.0m from the outside ground level need to meet the National Construction Code (NCC) fall prevention requirements, by using a restricted opening device, or if you want to use the full extent of your windows an approved screen, such as Guardian is essential.
Guardian® mesh is bonded into a fully welded, heavy duty aluminium frame. Because Guardian® features stainless steel mesh, it’s low maintenance, and strong enough to stand up to the rigours of children and pets.
Its appearance is perfectly matched to our ForceField® security screens for the ultimate in full home protection.
Prowler Proof Guardian screens have been purpose designed, as a non-security barrier solution, to meet the National Construction Code requirements for fall prevention and complements ForceField seamlessly for a integrated solution. Not only has it been tested to exceed an outward force of 250NM (25kg), it also meets the BAL-LOW to BAL-40 requirements for bushfire prone areas and is a great option instead of insect screens for homes with pets that might need a more robust solution.

GUARDIAN has passed every imaginable test…
BUSHFIRE
Bushfire prone zones require that openable windows must be screened with corrosion-resistant steel, bronze or aluminium mesh with an opening of less than 2 mm x 2 mm (AS 3959-2009).
CORROSION
Whenever two different metals interact there is a risk of corrosion. The tests (AS 2331.3.2 and AS 2331.3.1) to show corrosion-resistance are the acetic acid salt spray test and neutral salt spray test.
INSECT PROTECTION
The mosquito protection test tests a screens ability to keep mosquitoes out over an extended period of time.
FALL PREVENTION
The National Construction Code (NCC) (BCA 2013) requires that window openings be either restricted or screened, in certain circumstances, to prevent children falling. Screens that resist an outward horizontal action of 250 N meet the code and mean that window restrictors, that prevent the window being open more than 125mm, can be removed. Screens that have been tested and passed AS5039/5040 are deemed to comply with NCC requirements. Barrier screens must either be type tested in a NATA certified testing facility, or tested onsite by the installer.

Why choose Guardian?
WELDED CORNERS
Screens provide ventilation but can also keep solar heat and UV light out during summer, and reduce heat loss during winter. WERS testing and testing to the European Standard (EN 14501) show the reduction in solar heat and damaging UV light, and reduction in heat loss, provided by the screen.
QUALICOAT ACCREDITED POWDER COATING
Prowler Proof is one of only 10 powder coating applicators in Australia to be approved by Qualicoat International. Qualicoat is an international benchmark of quality.
MAXIMUM TRANSPARENCY
Guardian’s mesh design ensures maximum visibility through the screen. Your views of outside will not be impeded by your screen.
CONCEALED FIXING INTERLOCKS
Our custom designed interlocks are exclusive to Prowler Proof, and are currently available for single sliding and stacking doors. By choosing these interlocks it means you will have no unsightly fixing screws, and also your door will be more tamper resistant, as the recessed fixing channel makes it harder to get pliers in around the screw heads. Ask us about these interlocks.
FULL PERIMETER BOND
An adhesive is used to join the mesh to the frame. The frame is designed with special grooves that ensure when the adhesive is set you get both a mechanical and chemical bond. The adhesive is also used in other extreme applications such as aerospace and motorsports, where reliable bond through all sorts of conditions is required. The use of adhesives eliminates the corrosion associated with dissimilar metals joining, such as the joining of steel with aluminum.
FULL REPLACEMENT WARRANTY
All Prowler Proof product is covered by our 10 year replacement warranty. It’s Australia’s only screen replacement warranty and means you will get a brand new product if something goes wrong with your screen.
